Elwood didn't expect Arsene Wenger to come up and cause trouble at such a time, but fortunately, the situation is still under his control.

Arsene Wenger and his opposition rose up like new stars in the temple after the Northern Incident, which once made Vannar V very embarrassed, but Ellwood never thought the opposition could win.

His suspicions were also borne out by the fact that the opposition seemed to be menacing, but lacked roots in the church, and as time went on, their voices became weaker and weaker, and the investigation team headed by Wenger was completely reduced to a joke in the later stage, no one cooperated with their inquiries, they ran into walls in the church, unable to get any useful evidence, and just when Elwood thought that Vanel V was about to successfully survive this crisis, the latter unexpectedly chose to resign from the pope.

At that time, some people in the church saw this as a victory for the opposition, but Elwood knew very well that this victory had nothing to do with the opposition, and sure enough, it didn't take long for Wenger's daughter to assassinate Motellis, which made Wenger, who had the most vocal, disqualified from running for the next pope.

And Elwood found Vannel V at that time, a good politician is not necessarily the smartest and most powerful, but must have the most accurate grasp of the current situation, Elwood knows very well who is deciding the next pope in the situation at that time, he is not the oldest in terms of seniority, he is not the highest in terms of prestige, but his actions are the fastest, and he has already sat at the table when others are still watching and hesitating, and he is sure to leave.

In the end, his vision brought him a hundredfold benefit, Elwood knew very well where his current status came from, so until Vennar V left the human world, he had been trying to hold this thigh, and his attitude towards the opposition was also very simple, that is, to coax and play, on the surface to give Wenger and others enough respect, but in terms of power has always been as far as possible to elevate them.

For example, Wenger is still only a bishop, and he does not have any specific position, so Elwood is not worried about what the opposition guys can turn over, of course, he must also admit that Wenger is playing very beautifully at the moment, the latter has been holding back until now, and specially picked when he went out to march to the whole city to give a speech, Elwood now even wants to give a thumbs up to his opponent.

Four years have passed, and these guys seem to have made a lot of progress, but unfortunately they still can't see what is most important.

After the initial panic passed, Elwood quickly calmed down, he looked at Wenger in the crowd, and after a while, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, " This morning I received news that Bishop Wenger is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and spreading rumors in the city, I myself do not believe it, I have been friends with Bishop Wenger for so many years, and I know him very well, but now the enemy is present, as the Pope, I must be responsible for the military and civilians of the alliance, there is no way, I can only first wronged Bishop Wenger to live in the palace of benevolence for a period of time, and when the investigation is over, I promise to return Bishop Wenger's innocence. ”

Elwood was playing tricks, he knew what Wenger wanted - an open debate, no matter who wins or loses, the prestige of the church will be damaged to varying degrees, and once the truth is known to the people, his efforts to stabilize the people's hearts and minds will fail.

So Elwood didn't intend to argue with the other party at all, and after he realized Wenger's intentions, he decisively exercised the right of the pope, first labeled the other party as a suspected collaborator, and directly forced the end of the debate that had just been opened.

The next moment, Wenger saw two paladins walking towards him, saluted him, and then stood behind him, one left and one right, and although their demeanor was polite, their attitude was very resolute, obviously not intending to let him speak again.

Eventually, Wenger just gave Elwood a deep look and turned towards the Palace of Mercy.

Elwood felt the disappointment contained in that glance, but he didn't take it to heart, in his opinion, it was just Wenger's anger and reluctance after the plan failed, but these anger and reluctance did not change anything.

This incident is like a small episode, it comes and goes as fast as it comes. As the march continued, the people quickly put what had happened to Wenger behind them, and in the face of the menacing invaders, the inhabitants of Santa Massa showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the war, and the merchants, farmers, and nobles all spontaneously threw themselves into preparing for war, and after Elwood's speech, the defenders received at least 3,000 people to join the army in just one magical hour.

At the same time, far away on the other side of the ocean, there are also people in Silvermoon City who are concerned about the outcome of this battle.

The Elven King Dolores hosted a dinner in the palace of Alcveis to entertain two distinguished guests from afar.

Promia took off her Mithril armor, changed into a long green dress, pulled up her long hair, and transformed from a majestic general into a beautiful and generous princess, she walked to D'Ardarion's side with a wine glass, and looked into the latter's eyes.

"What are you up to? I've read the military information from the Holy Alliance, and with all due respect, I really don't see any chance of victory for Lehart VII in the current situation. ”

D'Addarion picked up a piece of chicken wings and put it on his plate, and then unceremoniously picked up the whole plate, "If I tell you that I don't have any calculations, I just want to bluff your father and try my luck, in case he is scared, I will make money, it doesn't matter if I am scared, I am ready to slip away at any time, what will you think?"

"You'd better not think about that kind of thing, haven't you noticed that there are a lot more guards at this banquet, and in the afternoon, my father also transferred a lot of masters from the army, just to prevent any of you from running away when the situation is not good. ”

D'Addarion grabbed a chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, do you know that I'm already the father of a child, and with our friendship, you can't bear to see me die like this, right?"

Promia smiled, "We are friends, but at the same time I am also a royal family of elves, and my blood determines that I will always be on the side of the elves, but if you die here tonight, I can promise that your body will be returned to your country." ”

"That's really sweet. D'Addarion twitched his fingers, "It's a pity that I don't want to die yet, at least not tonight, it seems that I can only pray that a miracle will happen next." ”
